Overview
Geospark Analytics delivers real-time risk intelligence through its AI-driven Hyperion platform. The platform continuously processes global open-source intelligence, news, satellite data, and social media feeds to calculate stability scores across countries, cities, and regions. It enables government agencies, defense organizations, and enterprise risk teams to forecast political unrest, transportation disruptions, and emerging security threats. In 2022, Geospark Analytics merged with Control Risks' product division to form Seerist.
